Eastern oregon is an amazing, inspiring place. Which is the main reason for the adventure of the last three days. Cyr, Jo, Kelty and I left on sunday morning to drive to the Painted Hills, part of the John Day Fossil Refuge about two and a half hours east of Bend. Our friends Lori and Shane joined us for the first leg. We had no destination besides the hills, with Cyr's camera in tow, as well as costumes and a vintage black film sign with moveable letters.
Cyr took 345 photos.
Much of the trip was pulling over at old farmhouses, or walking up the fossil bed self guided path so Jo could play her violin in front of green clay cliffs. We found an orchard, the John Day River, a baby bird in an old pioneer cemetery, several old bridges, a shoe tree, a coyote dead on a fence, a rickety foot bridge with cowboys driving trucks through the river nearby, two perfectly suited camp sites, a hundred year old country store, a chocolate blackberry milkshake, and most of all- silliness, laughter, and poetry.
I'll show photos eventually.
